Half Day Ushuaia City Trek – 2-3 hours, Easy
Tierra del Fuego not only contains amazing natural beauty, it has also been the site where the most courageous navigators of the world arrived to tempt their fate. The history of Ushuaia combines stories of the Yamana, the native inhabitants of the area, the stories of pirates and explorers such as FitzRoy and Darwin and the amazing development of the city in the last years. While enjoying a relaxing walk in the city, we reach the recently developed neighbourhoods high in the mountains. From here we start a hike following an old logging path, to get into the interesting Southern Beech Forest and end at a lookout point, where we stop for a snack prior to returning to town.

Harberton Estancia & Penguin Rockery – 10 hours, Moderate, October to April
An introduction to Tierra del Fuego's history, wildlife and traditions. We start from Ushuaia driving East towards Harberton`s small airstrip. From there we get on our zodiac boat to cross the Beagle channel to Gable Island. Gable Island is the largest in the Beagle Channel. It is wild, isolated and uninhabited. The only signs of humans are an old sheep-shearing storehouse and some traces of the Yamana natives. In a comfortable refuge we enjoy a warm and healthy breakfast to get ready for a 2-hour hike, crossing the island to the South to reach the Beagle Channel. On the island, we will hike and see old native settlements and many birds, such as gulls, steamer ducks, petrels, cormorants, albatrosses and Magellan Penguins, among others. After lunch resume our navigation to the Penguin rookery at Martillo Island, the domain of the Magellanic Penguin and some few Gentoo Penguins. The unique location of this island (close to the point where the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean waters merge) allows for an incredible variety of rich sub-aquatic life, making it an amazing spot for birdwatching (petrels, skuas, cormorants, sea gulls and albatross). Return to Harberton. This estancia belongs to the descendants of the first British Missionaries that reached the area - Rev. Thomas Bridges- and was managed for many years by Ms Natalie Goodall, a foremost naturalist in the area. After a short visit we return to Ushuaia. Important note: Penguins arrive at the rookery at the beginning of November.
